If I hadn't played a bit of this game and just watched videos of the gameplay, I would have thought the combat sucked. Like visually it seems like you are not actually fighting real time, but solving puzzles that control the fight.

This is not the case. The puzzle part, the hacking, is just used to "open" the robots up so you deal a good amount of damage instead of barely anything. It makes every encounter more intense and gives this otherwise standard 3rd person shooter a very fun soulslike experience with guns instead of melee. You can't just rely on having good aim and movement, you need to multitask and solve the little minigame every few seconds to keep your damage up and it is gnarly. In a good way.

I was gonna buy it until I saw it has Denuvo malware in it. So close, Capcom. So close.

I played the demo to see what it is about, although shooter games are not my thing, and I liked it. But damn Denuvo.

I will wait for them to remove it, game is already cracked though.

Anyone that pays for a game infected with Denuvo malware is part of the problem.

This game is so fun. Like holy crap, I haven’t found a game this fun in a while. I never knew I needed puzzle mini games while shooting things, but I guess here we are!

For some reason, I thought this already came out years ago to little fanfare; I seem to recall a demo or trailer for it from way back ...

Ah, development hell and indefinite delays from Capcom. Looks like it's being recieved well, too.

Piefed.social has 29 comments under this thread, 21 of those comments are about Denuvo with over half of them being a variation of the "Denuvo bad". I get it, I don't like Denuvo either, but do we really need a "This game has Denuvo so I'm not going to buy it" comment whenever a game with Denuvo is in the news. At this point it's become another circlejerk. I thought we're here because we love gaming but it feels like some people are just looking for an excuse to complain.

I can already see this not being well received (considering how popular hating on Denuvo is) so I'm going to save everyone some trouble. I don't care about your need to defend your circlejerk in front of me. I know where I stand on Denuvo and to me that topic is a dead horse, I'm not going to beat it so I'm not going to respond. I might respond if the comment is about how it impacts the community here, but my stance on that is very simple. We're intelligent people here, we know how to check whether a game has Denuvo or not, lettings others to the game has Denuvo is not some PSA and calling people the problem for buying a game with Denuvo hurts the community more than it helps.
